Chapter 184 Slave Purchasing
"Is the Xingluo Empire so extravagant that a slave market is built so magnificently? They think too highly of the slave trade." Li Xuan looked at the scene in front of him and asked Siyu with a shocked look on his face. The scene in front of him was indeed a little beyond Li Xuan's imagination.
"Three hundred years ago, a duke of the Xingluo Empire spent a huge amount of money to transform this place. With three hundred years of continuous expansion and transformation, it has been transformed from a basic slave market into a black market, but the main business here is still the slave trade." Siyu pointed to the prosperous underground world in front of her and introduced it to Li Xuan.
"I see." Li Xuan nodded.
Then Siyu took out two masks from the soul guide, handed one to Li Xuan, and put the other on her face.
Li Xuan silently took the mask and put it directly on his face. At the same time, he changed into a loose robe, making himself look more like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old.
Since there is black market business here, there must be people from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect here. Li Xuan should keep a low profile.
Siyu turned around and saw that Li Xuan had already put on the mask and done a good job of disguise. Then she nodded with satisfaction.
"Let's go and see the largest slave trading market in the Xingluo Empire. I hope I can purchase the last slaves for you." Siyu said and walked out of the room with Li Xuan.
Came to the brightly lit market.
Li Xuan then noticed that the people around him who were dressed in gorgeous clothes were wearing different masks, so their faces could not be seen clearly, and therefore he had no idea who these buyers were.
"Let's go and take a look at the slaves first and buy as many slaves as possible. The Radi Canyon is too big and we need too many people." Li Xuan said to Siyu with a smile.
"How many slaves do you want?" Siyu suddenly frowned and asked Li Xuan.
"We need tens of thousands of people, but this time there will be only three to five thousand. If there are more, it will be too conspicuous." Li Xuan thought carefully, then said to Siyu.
Initially, Li Xuan thought that he would buy as many as he could sell here, but after thinking about it, Li Xuan gave up this idea. Li Xuan had just settled in the Xingluo Empire, so it would be better not to attract too much attention.
Siyu took Li Xuan into the slave trading market.
As Siyu and Li Xuan officially entered the slave trading market, Li Xuan was surprised to find that it was well connected, like a small city. Based on the size, Li Xuan estimated that the area here occupied at least one-tenth of Xingluo City.
"I have to say, the scale here is so huge!" Li Xuan said to Siyu in surprise, but Li Xuan couldn't understand why the Xingluo royal family would agree to let someone build such a huge underground black market here.
"It was originally the Duke's method, and later it was owned by the Xingluo royal family. Now this is the property of the Xingluo royal family. Otherwise, who has the power to create such a black market under Xingluo City." Siyu looked at Li Xuan and smiled and shook her head.
Li Xuan also nodded in agreement. In Xingluo City, only the Xingluo royal family had the ability to build such an underground black market.
Soon, Siyu brought Li Xuan to the door of a shop and stopped.
"Please come in, distinguished guests. What kind of slave do you want to buy?" A thin young man saw Li Xuan and Si Yu standing at the door of his shop and greeted them with a smile.
Although the thin young man in front of him was only seventeen or eighteen years old, he exuded a temperament that only aristocrats had. And most importantly, he was not wearing a mask and the clothes he wore were relatively cheap.
I think he should be a disciple of the Xingluo royal family who came out to gain experience.
"Hello, boss. I just inherited a territory from my father. However, my father is not good at managing the territory so it is a bit dilapidated now. So I need to buy some slaves to reclaim the land, grow crops and revitalize the territory." Li Xuan raised his head and said to the young man passionately. At this time, Li Xuan acted like a young lord who had just accepted the territory and was full of high spirits.
Li Xuan was not at all nervous when he lied, and now he was wearing a mask, so the young man couldn't see Li Xuan's expression clearly.
"I see. Hello, young nobleman. How many slaves do you want to buy?" The young man nodded slightly at Li Xuan and spoke to him in a friendly tone.
"There are many uncultivated wastelands and hillsides in my territory. I need three thousand young and strong men to help me cultivate the land and plant fruit trees." Li Xuan said seriously to the young man.
"Respected Lord Young Master. Okay, I will handle the formalities for you right away. I hope you will have a better development in the Xingluo Empire." The young man nodded to Siyu, then turned around and went back to the backyard to handle the formalities.
"Is it that simple?" Li Xuan looked at Siyu in disbelief, pointed in the direction the young man left, and asked in confusion.
"Of course, don't worry, your information will soon appear in the hands of the officials of the Star Luo Empire. However, they cannot find out your identity. The only thing worthy of their trust is that your territory is within the territory of the Star Luo Empire. In this way, they will feel much more at ease, and your three thousand slaves should be able to be taken away smoothly." Siyu said to Li Xuan with a smile.
"I see. It seems that the noble status is still useful." Li Xuan nodded and said.
Every country hopes to have new people in its country to develop its territory.
Today's Douluo Continent can be said to be vast and sparsely populated, and there is a lack of large landlords who make a living by farming. After all, in today's feudal society, grain production is the most basic indicator of a country.
Land reclamation is extremely important for the development of the Xingluo Empire.
That's why it was so easy for Li Xuan and his men to purchase a large number of slaves. Of course, this doesn't mean that the Xing Luo Empire had no supervision over Li Xuan. They would still arrange some spies among these slaves.
However, Li Xuan's goal was indeed to farm, so whether there were spies or not did not have much impact on Li Xuan. Moreover, these slaves had to be carefully screened by the Yellow Turban warriors, and the possibility of spies being screened out was very high.
It will not affect Li Xuan's progress in developing the Radi Canyon.
Soon, the young man returned to the shop from the backyard and handed a golden token to Li Xuan.
"I'll give you 50 gold soul coins." The young man handed the golden token in his hand to Li Xuan and said.
The price of a slave is one Silver Soul Coin. If it is really a young and strong labor force, the price is not expensive. The slaves Li Xuan bought last time were basically old and weak, so the price was so low.
"Thank you." Li Xuan bowed to the young man, then said thank you, and then took out a bag of fifty gold soul coins from the Kongming Crystal and handed it to the young man.
"I hope you can cultivate more land and grow more food." The young man nodded slightly, then took the purse from Li Xuan's hand.
"Goodbye." Siyu and Li Xuan bowed to the young man, then said with a smile.
The young man nodded in response.
Siyu took Li Xuan out of the store slowly and continued shopping there.
"What is the use of this token?" Li Xuan showed Siyu the token that the young man had just handed to him.
"With this token, you can go to a city outside Xingluo City to collect 5,000 slaves." Siyu explained to Li Xuan with a smile.
"So that's how it is. It seems that this market is just a trading center, and the things that can be bought are not here." Li Xuan frowned and muttered to Siyu.
"Of course, although this place is big, how can it accommodate thousands of slaves?" Siyu shook her head and said.
"That means the trading volume here is much larger than expected." Li Xuan touched his chin. With this calculation, the Xingluo Empire can extract a lot of wealth from this massive amount of trading every day. No wonder the Xingluo Empire allowed such a large black market to be built inside Xingluo City.
"Is there anything else you want to buy next?" Siyu asked Li Xuan again.
"Are there any rare treasures for sale here? We can go and have a look." Li Xuan thought for a moment and said to Siyu.
"Rare treasures? Then let's go to the Seven Treasures Pavilion. It is said to be the property of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. The things in it are priceless." Siyu thought for a while and then said to Li Xuan.
"Can someone like me go?" Li Xuan said unhappily.
"Aren't you wearing a mask? They can't recognize you easily." Siyu patted Li Xuan's shoulder and said carelessly.
"That's true. We can go and see if the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower has the talent for treasure hunting. The things they have should be very good." Although Li Xuan had a grudge against the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, he had to admit that the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect's martial spirit was indeed more powerful. After all, it was the only martial spirit among the top three sects that was worth leaving incomplete.
Although it is incomplete, it can still compete with the other two sects and stand proudly on the Douluo Continent.
Siyu nodded, and then brought Li Xuan to the entrance of the Qibao Pavilion of the Qibao Glazed Tile Sect.
The decoration of Qibao Pavilion is more gorgeous and exquisite than the surrounding shops.
"Welcome to Qibao Pavilion." A maid in a white dress came to Li Xuan and said to him respectfully.
I have to say that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has a pretty good aesthetic, and this maid is really beautiful.
Siyu ignored the maid and took Li Xuan into the Qibao Pavilion.
"What would you two like to buy, my dear guests?" the shop owner asked Li Xuan and Si Yu.
The shop owner was an old man in his sixties or seventies. He was thin, but his eyes were bright and his spirit was bright. He seemed to have a high level of cultivation.
More importantly, he looks somewhat similar to Ning Fengzhi!
He should be a relative of Ning Fengzhi. Judging from his age, he should be an uncle.
"We are just strolling around." Siyu stopped in front of Li Xuan, responded with a smile, then nodded to the old man and said.
"Please make yourselves at ease, my two distinguished guests." The old man nodded slightly and then said nothing more.
Siyu took Li Xuan to stroll around Qibao Pavilion and began to carefully examine the goods in the store.
"The quality of the ores here is very good, but the price..." Siyu said to Li Xuan with some hesitation.
Siyu pointed to the precious minerals on a shelf, hesitated for a moment, and then said.
It seems that Siyu is somewhat moved.
"It's okay. I don't have much, but I have a lot of gold soul coins. Brother Siyu, buy some more ore and give them to Mr. Lou and Brother Silong when I go back." Li Xuan waved his hand and whispered to Siyu.
Here, Li Xuan doesn't want to be too high-profile.
After hearing Li Xuan's words, Siyu's eyes lit up, and then she took a few relatively inexpensive pieces of ore from the shelf, preparing to check out later.
Li Xuan took a look at the prices of the items on the shelves and glanced at Siyu unhappily. The Blacksmith Guild was really afraid of being poor and they didn't dare to spend money even if they were given money.
Li Xuan directly took out a basket from the Kongming Pearl and put all the more than 30 precious minerals on the shelf into it.
Li Xuan has nothing much now, the only thing he has much is the gold soul coins.
"So many ores? How much will it cost?" Siyu said to Li Xuan in shock.
"A gift for you." Li Xuan said, then took out a soul guide filled with golden light and handed it to Siyu.
Siyu carefully took the soul guide and looked at Li Xuan with surprise.
"I'll walk around for a while, you go pay the bill first." Li Xuan smiled and shook his head at Siyu, then continued shopping here.
Most of the things in the Qibao Pavilion are rare treasures, all of which are strange and odd. They are placed on the shelves in different categories without any specific pattern.
Li Xuan checked the items on the shelf one by one, and suddenly he stopped.
On the shelf in front of Li Xuan, his eyes were fixed on a khaki lotus-shaped pendant.
"This is..." Li Xuan slowly stretched out his hand, grabbed the pendant, placed it in front of him and examined it carefully.
No one knows what metal the lotus is made of, but the carving is exquisite and the craftsmanship is extraordinary. You can tell at a glance that it is a fine piece.
"You have a good eye. This is a lotus forged from gold from the center of the earth. The carving is also top-notch. The price is right, you can buy it." Siyu introduced the item in her hand to Li Xuan.
However, Li Xuan did not care about the lotus base, but the light golden lotus seed in the lotus bud.
As Li Xuan watched, a blue light curtain appeared in front of Li Xuan. He took a look at the light curtain and immediately observed it.
"Buy it for me." After Li Xuan closed the light curtain, he threw the pendant to Siyu.
"Okay." Siyu went to pay the bill without hesitation.
Li Xuan looked around at the things here again. There was nothing important to him, so he waved his hand and left the store with Siyu.
Only after they were far away from the store did Siyu look at Li Xuan with a confused look on her face.
"What's wrong?" Siyu asked Li Xuan and handed the pendant to Li Xuan.
"It's okay, let's leave here first. It's time to go back." Li Xuan took the pendant back from Siyu's hand, then waved his hand, asking Siyu to take him away.
